Yes! Protest, join a democratic party, talk about politics to your friends and colleagues, be vocal on social media, etc.

What the hell are you talking about? Who is that “you” that is in no position to talk? You don’t know anything about my view of Germany’s position towards Israel.

I also feel like you have no clue about German politics. It’s the far right AfD that acts as the big defender of the Jews currently and you can read above what I think about them. At the same time, we have a historic responsibility towards the Jews that is not as simple as you probably think it is. And there are lots of high ranked politicians, including our foreign minister, who speak very critically of Israel’s policies and actions.

That being said, none of this has anything to do with my initial statement. Or are you one of those people who voted for Trump because the evil Democrats supported Israel? In that case I think it is you who should be silent now.

Who would have thunk that the Americans claiming - school shooting after school shooting - that they cannot ban guns because they need them in case the government turns evil on the people are the same Americans that cheer at a Nazi saluting oligarchic quasi-president and a moronic manchild puppet president while democracy is demolished and rights, especially of women, queer people and immigrants, are taken away.

Greetings from Germany, we’ve been there before and we’re starting to take the same path again currently as politicians of the far and the not so far right are taking the shitshow we’re witnessing in the US as an example and instruction manual to push their own agenda here. Not trying to say it’s America’s fault, it’s just that we’ve all not been conscious enough about the developments, and America honestly stumbled more blindly into fascism than I ever thought was possible. We all need to fucking get our asses up and do something. At least in Germany it’s not too late yet. In case any fellow German here reads this: GO VOTE ON SUNDAY.

Guess the “land of the free” isn’t so free after all.

Stay

Massively underrated film imo.

As a German, I feel you.

Ok so are there any big protests planned, on a Sunday, with enough time to prepare?

As a naive European, please someone explain: Why aren’t there more people protesting? I don’t get it. They don’t even state a number here and these pictures look like it’s been just a handful of people.

I’m in Germany and after a conservative democratic party voted with the far right AfD in a ballot in parliament last week, there were mass protests with hundreds of thousands of people all across Germany. There were about 200.000 people in Berlin alone.

Meanwhile I feel like in the US, democracy is currently being replaced by fascism in no time and everybody just kind of watches?

Oh no, proice inflietion.
